We're Employed!

Today I got the call I have been waiting for since I was in the 4th grade!! I am the new 6th grade teacher at Knowlton Elementary. It's the elementary by the Smith's in Farmington close to Lagoon. You can actually see Lagoon from the school! The awesome thing is Tyler got a job a couple weeks ago at Mountain High School, it the alternative high school for davis school district. The 2 school are less than 3 miles away from each other!!!

They are our dream jobs! Tyler wanted High School and wanted the freedom to teach creatively and not just lecture and textbook based. Mountain High looks for teachers that can be creative with the students. I wanted to teach upper grades. When I went to the interview the school had a 2nd and 6th grade opening. I would have taken the 2nd grade job just to get my foot in the door, but I really love and feel comfortable with the upper grade students so I really was leaning more toward the 6th grade job.

Honestly, our...(to be honest more MY) patience has been tested. It's so hard to have your future be in the hands of other people. I had to keep telling myself how we grow with these experiences in our lives. However, when Tyler was offered the job at Mountain High, I felt like what am I doing wrong that I haven't received job offers. My faith did waiver, and I thought that I wouldn't get a job. I thought I would have to sub instead of having my own classroom. But, there were many people in my life that kept telling me to keep my chin up, and kept telling me to stay positive, so thank you Tyler! And, Julliana and Emily for continually telling me to call and email principals. Plus, Kitty for helping get ready for the dream interview! After thinking of all the people that helped me land this interview and get the job, I started to think of Elder Holland's about angels amoung us. Truly, I have many angels that have blessed my life and I am excited for what the future holds for us.
